Sultan of Sokoto and chairman National Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria (NTRCN), His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has described late Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Mohood Olalekan Balogun as detralibalised Nigerian.
The sultan who mourned the passage in a statement through his media team, said Oba Balogun was a colleague and friend in the quality based and professionals-populated traditional institution in the country.
“We are confident that, although short-lived, his reign on the throne was well spent for the good of his people as the Olubadan of Ibadanland and Permanent Chairman Oyo State Traditional Rulers Council.
“We will miss him for his great thought for better and united Nigeria as he was known for being a detralibalised Nigerian. By his demise, the country has lost an important traditional leader.
“Our condolences go to the Oyo State government, the Oyo State Traditional Rulers Council, the family of the deceased Olubadan and the entire people of the state.
“May Allah forgive and admit his soul in Al-Jannah Al-Firdaus, Amiin,” Sultan Sa’ad prayed.
